mm:How do we know he existed?

kosta:Archeology.

mm: Your opinion.

LOL! Do coins with King Ahaz's name on them count as my "opinion"?

Since you admit that you don't know what truth is, you can't say for sure what they found because you don't KNOW what's true.

The absolute truth, mm (the context was absolute truth). If I knew everything, only then I'd know the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

You'll have to provide better evidence than that if you expect us to believe you

You don't have to believe me. All you have to do is open the Bible and read in Isaiah 7 the name Ahaz. It's there. Whether he lived or not is a different story. His name is in the Bible. Just as Achilles' name is in Iliad. Their historicity, if any, at this point is irrelevant.

Any truth is absolute truth. If it wasn't absolutely true, it wouldn't be truth.

Sure it does. It's merely your opinion that they're authentic. How do you know the archeologists didn't make up the coins?

It's not like there haven't been frauds and hoaxes in science before... cough *archaeoraptor* cough...
